Dear Joan and Jean, I am so sorry to learn of uncle Bob’s passing. Please accept my deepest condolences. The last time I saw him was such a wonderful visit – I had gone to Edmonton with my youngest child, and he and aunt Rose were such wonderful hosts. I really enjoyed getting to know them both better, and to share our memories of past experiences when we visited Edmonton when I was a child and young adult. My kindest regards to you both, Joan and Jean. Anne Lariviere
